BREAKING NEWS, FUKUSHIMA MELTDOWN

As we have known for months now, the officials in Japan, TEPCO and the Japanese government have officially announced that the No.1 reactor has melted down and the fuel rods are totally exposed to the environment. Thus, the massive amounts of radiation which our government is reporting ” doesn’t amount to anything”, will continue to arrive unabated and most likely in even higher doses with more dangerous isotopes. The longer this goes on, the higher the probability that these heavier more dangerous isotopes will arrive here.

Meanwhile ‘there is nothing to worry about, all is well’ continues to blare from the Orwellian speakers as the radiation continues to arrive and land…all over our country, food and citizens alike.

As I have said before, the ingredients in Enerfood work and are known to diminish the effects of radiation, I recommend taking 2 tablespoons daily right now, bladderwrack (a form of seaweed, high in iodine) and ThyRobust our blend for the Thyroid, also high in iodine. You also might want to pre-order our Organic Preparedness pail while the price is $199.99 with 2 free 2oz tinctures to boost your immune system.

I am afraid that this will only get worse before it gets better and if left in the incompetent hands of the Japanese it will get a lot worse!

Fukushima ‘Full Meltdown’ Made Official

BY ADAM CLARK ESTES MAY 12, 2011

TEPCO officials confirmed today the months-long of suspicion that the Reactor No. 1 at Fukushima suffered a full meltdown. According to the disclosure today, workers discovered earlier this week that No. 1’s containment vessel has been leaking water and today discovered a sizeable hole they believe was created by fallen fuel pellets. The water leakage not only indicates that the clean up efforts will take longer than originally expected but also that the worst case scenario was already underway when TEPCO said it had been avoided.

Before anybody panics over the very scary phrase “full meltdown,” it’s worth pointing out that nuclear scientists don’t necessarily agree on what that means. The difference between a “partial meltdown,” which is what we were lead to believe had happened, and a “full meltdown,” which is the term dominating today’s headlines, is unclear and perhaps not even that important. According to Columbia’s David Brenner, a “full meltdown” occurs when the exposed fuel melts through the bottom of the containment vessel. That’s not the dangerous part, though. When asked in an interview about the danger of meltdowns, Brenner said:

They’re certainly not good. You can contrast the two major nuclear incidents of the past: Both Chernobyl and Three Mile Island were meltdowns, but the difference in scale is enormous. Chernobyl was the equivalent of 1 million Three Mile Islands. A “meltdown” certainly is not a good thing, but the ultimate consequence is how much radioactivity is released into the environment. You can have a situation like Three Mile Island, where it’s extremely small amount, or a situation like Chernobyl.

The Fukushima disaster is already as bad as Chernobyl according to the International Atomic Energy Association’s scale, but the radiation levels released are yet to be determined. Semantics and classifications aside, the people of Japan’s situation is scarier than before for one reason: that big hole that’s leaking radioactive water puts a serious damper TEPCO’s plan to cool the reactor by dousing it with water. Even if they plug the leak, it’s unclear how much more radioactive water has seeped into the ground or ocean around the plant. This is the third leak discovered by officials, and it may very well not be the last.

This entire scenario is just a disaster for the global community, not to mention the life threatening environment for the Japanese people. Not only is the radiation terrible but their island seems to be turning to liquid beneath their feet.

[…] (Updates with comments from federal response commander and BP executive, and additional details throughout.) By Cassandra Sweet and Susan Daker Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES BP PLC (BP, BP.LN) said Friday that preliminary test results show that a new cap on the broken oil well in the Gulf of Mexico has sealed the oil underground, although more tests are needed to be sure. The US government ordered additional testing and measurements on Friday, after concluding that pressure readings were encouraging but not conclusive. The pressure in the well has risen steadily to about 6700 pounds per square inch since BP started a crucial test Thursday afternoon, government and BP officials said. That level indicates that no oil is leaking from the well, but it isn’t high enough to rule out the possibility that there’s an invisible leak in the well, or somewhere else along the sea floor, they said. The pressure reading is “generally good news,” retired US Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the federal response commander, said during a teleconference. But ” there is enough uncertainty about the meaning of what the pressure is” to prompt government scientists to want to know more about the conditions of the well and the sea floor, he said. If the cap succeeds, it would be a major achievement for BP after a string of failed attempts to stop the runaway well, which has devastated the US Gulf Coast and its fishing and tourism industries. BP and government scientists were hoping for a pressure reading … Video Rating: 5 / 5 Additionally you can look at this related post: http://www.survive2thrive.net/2011/05/13/breaking-news-fukushima-meltdown/ […]
